Defrosting with the microwave
Recommended settings for defrosting food and dishes.
Note:
Preparation tips
¡
Use microwave-safe cookware without a lid.
¡
Turn or stir the food two or three times during the defrosting time. When turning, remove any liquid that escapes
during defrosting.
¡
After defrosting, leave the food to rest for 10–60ºminutes.
¡
Delicate parts such as the legs and wings of chicken or fatty outer layers of roasts can be covered with small
pieces of aluminium foil. The foil must not touch the cooking compartment walls. You can remove the foil halfway
through the defrosting time.
